indicated the inspection status was within the thirty-day allotment, but
acknowledged a default warrant for the registered owner of the vehicle. The
officer followed the vehicle and a traffic stop was conducted on Babcock

was arrested and taken to booking charged with the warrant. The vehicle was towed.

5:42 pm: An
officer was dispatched to Dana Street for a property damage report. The home
owner explained when he returned home from work he saw that his fence post was
knocked over adjacent to his driveway. Another resident had informed the owner
that he had not seen any damage earlier in the evening. A car may have pulled
into the driveway to turn around and struck the fence. A small piece of red
paint or plastic was found to be transferred form the object to the fence.
Surveillance cameras were not found in the area.

8:00 pm: Officers
responded to a call for a report of malicious damage to a bicycle at the
intersection of Beacon Street and Powell Street. The owner of the bicycle
explained that she had locked her bicycle to the street sign in front of the
building’s entrance on Powell Street the previous afternoon. When she returned
to it that evening she found it badly damaged and laying on the ground still
locked to the sign. The location has both vehicle and pedestrian traffic
throughout the day. The lock did not appear to have marks that would indicate
an attempt to cut it and the seat and accessories were still on the bike. Based
on this, the bike may have been knocked over or fallen on its own. A
surveillance camera was located mounted to the entrance of the building on
Beacon Street. It appeared to have a view of the bicycle, but management could not
be contacted to view the footage at the time. Follow-up was requested and the
owner was advised of the Town By-Law regarding locking bicycles to town signs.
